#VisionFirst! Photo Competition

#VisionFirst! Photo Competition

Deadline: October 10, 2019
Entry fee: Free
Prizes: $1,000, Canon 1200 D DSLR camera

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. This competition can be a great opportunity to highlight eye health successes and also document unmet need.

We know now that 1.2 billion people don’t have access to glasses. Over 3 out of 4–more than 75%–of the world’s vision-impaired are avoidably so.

The photo competition is a great tool to draw a spotlight on eye care issues across the globe and those who are vulnerable to sight conditions—young children, persons with diabetes, older people, people with limited access to health services, etc. With the theme, “#VisionFirst!”, IAPB encourages you to share images that highlight the impact, and strength of our partnerships and most importantly highlight the importance of vision everywhere in the world.

We run the photo competition to mark World Sight Day, an annual day of awareness to mark avoidable blindness and vision impairment.
